Commala 6.xx Theme Please?

romick · 03-27-2020, 06:28 AM

I had spent a copious amount of time creating my own modified Commala 5.xx Theme. And I'm still using it.

But the Theme Nerd in me wants to take advantage of all of the new, wizbang stuff that v6.xx has to offer - the look, the Theme Adjuster and such.

So, I'm putting the plea out there for a v6.xx Commala Theme, as I am not as savvy at theming as I'd like to be.

Thanks for listening.

I sent him a message about this, he still hasn't seen it. His last activity on the forum was Feb 14....

There's no such thing - Its just the V6 theme adjuster, and that's only because I wrote it, and the theme, to work together. No other theme can somehow be made to work with the V6 theme adjuster. Other themes can have their own theme adjuster scripts, making one is about as easy as scripting gets, but what would you want it to do? It can only change things that the theme has been designed to be changeable.

You're not missing out on anything.

Good to know. Thanks.

Is it compatible with the FX and SENDS list into the TCP?
Because to me this is the major no-no on stash themes (since many of theme haven't this feature yet and it seems they are dead. Abandonware).

Like the Davified Imperial :-/

There is no such thing as compatibility in themes. All themes ever made are fully functional in even the very latest version of Reaper. Here's the v2 default theme, unchanged, displaying sends:

v3 default:

v4 default, CommalaV4 and v4 classic:

Imperial

v5 default

None of these have been changed at the theme level, themes are just clothes. If the theme pre-dates a feature, Reaper re-uses existing images or draws code graphics to display the new thing.

not exactly ..; since the subdivision in 2 separate columns:
1 for FX
1 for sends/returns

is not there into any theme. And for few things is nothing but when FX and Sends are substantial,; it's just cluttered.
So: there is not the 100% compatibility.

DEFAULT (TWO Columns)

DAVIFIED IMPERIAL (everything in only one column. NO-GO)

I'm a Commala fan, my default. There are things I would like changed, but I'm glad it's there as it is.

Lets not have a semantic argument about it;

I released a theme which was originally based off of Commala 5. Some things may look similar but then again 90% of it has been re-written since the more I dug into Commala 5, the more I found could use some improvements and additions.

It doesn't include the mentioned external mixer items on the TCPs at this time, since I didn't put that high on my priority list. I'm not a big fan of the amount of space and clutter it adds to the TCPs. I did add it on some of the MCP layouts. I will likely add it to some of the TCP layout options in future update releases.

Here is the link if anyone wants to try it out.

- Fans of Commala Theme: This theme originated from the “Commala 2018” theme where some of those elements are still being used while most of the images have been revised, bugs fixed, distorted images fixed, left over Default 5 theme items removed/revised. 90% of the Commala rtconfig has been re-written in an overall effort to make this theme feel like everything belongs together. It wasn’t a cut and paste of multiple sections borrowed from other themes. If you liked the Commala theme, you may enjoy what I consider to be improvements in this theme.

I have an update coming out this week which adds VCA/Track Group layout options.
